VMware suggests you use a port number in the range from 5900 to 5999. If you want to connect to more than one virtual machine on the same host with a VNC client, you must specify a unique port number for each virtual machine. Specify the port the VNC client uses to connect to the virtual machine (5900 is the default VNC port). If the virtual machine is powered off, you cannot connect to it with a VNC client. This setting is valid only while the virtual machine is running. Setting this option to TRUE enables standard VNC support. To configure each VM edit the VMX file or use the vSphere Client to edit the Virtual Machine Properties to add the following lines: This function is configured at VM but is provided at host level, so you must use different VNC ports for each VM that you want to manage with VNC.
The right client to access the VM console is still the vSphere Client (or the Web Client), and of course, protocols implemented in the guest OS. Note: as written in the KB VMware does not support running virtual machines with a VNC client. Some weeks ago I learn a new curios thing in a thread in the VMware Community: also the latest version of ESXi still have a VNC Server for the VM console that can be used with a common VNC connection as described in the old KB1246 ( Using a VNC Client to Connect to Virtual Machines) related to the VMware GSX Server product!
